00:00Hello everyone, here we have three people who don't need any introduction.
00:03They are ready to talk to us about Sivam Bajja.
00:06Their faces look like they are ready to talk to us about things that they haven't told anyone.
00:11Let's ask them and find out.
00:13Sir, I have only one question for the three of you.
00:17What exciting point to accept this movie?
00:22The screenplay, the unique concept.
00:25Along with these two, I strongly believe that Shiva brought this concept to us.
00:35I remember when you came to me when you saw Hidimba, you said you did a great job on the concept.
00:45You did very well, Lakshminen.
00:46You told me that. I remember that.
00:48So, after watching this movie, I am very confident that this concept will come to India.
00:59You, sir.
01:00To select a movie, first of all, the overall script should be good.
01:05Because if you only focus on your role and the script is not good, there is no use of it.
01:11So, first of all, see how you like the overall script concept-wise.
01:17Then, see your role in it.
01:19In this, both the scripts were very good.
01:22And the role that was offered to me was also very good.
01:24So, that's the reason why I selected this.
01:27You are doing a film in Telugu after many years.
01:30What is the exciting point that the audience wants to know?
01:36So, the exciting point is firstly that I am happy to be working in the Telugu industry.
01:41Then, I am happy to be working with the people in the industry that are right here.
01:45And the role.
01:47So, if I wanted to make an impact here again, it was very important that I come with the right film with the right role.
01:54And I couldn't have, after a long break, got a nicer opportunity.
02:00So, I am very excited.
02:02I think the presentation of my character.
02:05I am playing a cop but I have played cops many times in the past also.
02:10So many people have played cops.
02:11But the point is that how well you characterize that cop and how well you shoot that, present it.
02:17That is very unique and amazing in this.
02:20So, I know it will really resonate with the audience.
02:23Very good.
02:23Ma'am, you are a most talented young heroine.
02:27How sweet is that? Thank you.
02:29So, you are taking a lot of intervals.
02:32So, in spite of you doing good projects, why you are taking breaks and all that?
02:38You know, I think taking a break is never a conscious decision.
02:42But the conscious decision is that I am a part of the right film.
02:45You know, the right project.
02:47Something that, if you go back and see whatever films I have done, I have never just been around and gone.
02:53You know, my role has always been important to the narrative.
02:57So, that happens.
02:58Sometimes it happens very frequently.
03:00Sometimes it takes its own sweet time.
03:02But I think for me, it is always about the right people, the right script.
03:07And eventually, how much will I remember the film.
03:11Like, I always look at it backwards.
03:13Few years down the line, will I be proud to watch this?
03:16So, Shiva decided to give this project.
03:18Do you believe that?
03:19Definitely.
03:21I have told this in many interviews.
03:23She went to Kedarnath temple and after the darshan,
03:27as soon as the flight landed, she got a call from Shivam Bhaja's office.
03:30She was thinking about how she would have felt.
03:33She is a Shiva devotee.
03:35She always has Ekamukhi Rudraksha in her mind.
03:39So, what else is there to say?
03:42She always says that.
03:44Can you give some hint about your character and all?
03:47Works at a pharmaceutical company.
03:49Very simple, homely girl.
03:51One thing that I really resonate with, especially this role is,
03:54how innocent and simple she is.
03:56Level-headed, but not on your face.
03:59You know, she is...
04:01It's a very soft play and a very important part in the narrative.
04:06Has its own fun and quirk.
04:08You know, we have some scenes with Hyperadi and Ashwin.
04:12And they are really fun.
04:12They, you know, live with my father and they give you a little bit of a chill pill.
04:16So, it's a good strike between both.
04:19You know, I was, in fact, very kicked about...
04:22So, Arbaaz sir and I have very little combination together.
04:28But I was just very happy that little combination took a lot of time to shoot
04:32because it was a long sequence.
04:34Because I was very excited to kind of share screen space with him.
04:38Bro, nowadays, people like us,
04:40Hindus and all,
04:43have made a lot of films and got into a lot of commercials.
04:47In such a situation,
04:49you based an epic, a Purana, on Lord Shiva.
04:55You know how it feels when Lord Shiva gets angry.
04:58So, in such a situation,
05:00what kind of courage do you think you have to accept a story told by a Muslim?
05:08See, I'm not just saying courage, I'm a shock guru.
05:12I have Mr. Maheshwar Reddy, Mr. Maheshwar Reddy Mooli,
05:15this film, a producer,
05:17the Karta Karma Kriya back set first,
05:19they liked that story and brought it to me.
05:21They came to learn from me.
05:22After listening to the story, I asked his name and he said Apsar Hussain.
05:26The doubt you had, I...
05:28I mean, being Apsar Hussain,
05:31a story about a Shiva Leela, a Shiva Maya, a Shiva Tattvam,
05:35the way he brought it to the story, I'm a shock guru.
05:39If I ask him the same thing,
05:43I need a positive energy, I need a God.
05:46I need a God who is related to Hindutva in this film.
05:49I need a God who protects India.
05:51When I think of someone,
05:52I think of Lord Shiva.
05:53Whoever I ask, they tell me about Lord Shiva.
05:55I wrote based on Lord Shiva.
05:58He has a lot of cult fans.
06:00From Aghoras, Nagasadhus,
06:02there are different types of devotees.
06:04He has different types of devotees on the North Indian side than on our side.
06:10In Dwadasi Jyotirlingam, there are 11 devotees on our side.
06:14So, in this point of view, when he told me,
06:18how did you write this?
06:19That too, a Maheshwar Reddy,
06:21his name is related to Lord Shiva.
06:24When he brought this, it was something like...
06:26I believe in destiny.
06:28I don't know if I'll wake up in the morning and take this with me.
06:32I'm always in a mindset.
06:33When I get a story like this, it's a good story.
06:36It has a unique concept.
06:38I'm a shock guru.
06:40I don't know how they do it.
06:42I was shocked to see how beautifully they did it.
06:45Immediately, when we approached Lord Shiva,
06:48his name is Lord Shiva.
06:51I didn't understand.
06:54It's like destiny, Lord Shiva,
06:57Lord Shiva's fire, Lord Shiva's story.
06:59At the end, I'll ask Omkaram,
07:03how is it?
07:04His name is Lord Shiva.
07:05I don't know what to say.
07:07That's why I accepted it happily.
07:10I liked the concept a lot.
07:11Along with my poster,
07:14I have a Trishulam poster.
07:16I have Trishulam.
07:17If not in my film, I have Damarkam.
07:19If I'm in a poster in front of Lord Shiva,
07:23it's a blessing in my life.
07:25I feel it's my luck.
07:27You have to see and tell me how it is.
07:30Okay.
07:30Sir, after the ad in Shivam Bhaja,
07:33you have a real Pan India look.
07:35What do you say?
07:37This is true, right?
07:38Yes.
07:39Actually, this is how it's happening these days.
07:42The South and North industries
07:45are working together.
07:47So, it helps.
07:48Now he's got his audience,
07:50I may have some of my audience.
07:52So, it kind of...
07:52Not me, sir.
07:53He's just being too wonderful and too nice.
07:56You have so many audiences.
07:58You have cult fans here.
08:01Damant fans are here.
08:02It's a whole challenge.
08:04I am very happy.
08:06So many fans are here.
08:08You're being kind.
08:09I am a blockbuster like Dabangg.
08:13I have shaken India.
08:14If you make a movie like this,
08:15you'll be like Gabbar Singh.
08:17I have a comeback feeling for Powerstar.
08:19Look at this.
08:20Yes.
08:21It's a comeback film.
08:23Okay.
08:24So, it's...
08:25I feel good.
08:26I feel really good.
08:27There was such a big gap.
08:30So, it was important to re-enter with a good film.
08:33And now I'm happy that I'm with the right film.
08:36Sir, in a house of a legend like Salim,
08:41many people respect religions.
08:44Yes.
08:45So, what did you feel after listening to the story of Shiva?
08:50Look, we live in India.
08:53We live in a Hindu country.
08:55It's not like that.
08:56So, we are, like I said,
08:58we are a very secular family.
09:00Yes, exactly.
09:00As a family, we are very secular.
09:02My mother was half Dogra Rajput, half Maharashtrian.
09:07My father is a pure Pathan.
09:10My stepmother is a Christian.
09:12Yes.
09:13In our families, we married people from other faiths.
09:18So, it's not earlier and now I've married a woman from my faith.
09:23So, the thing is, we respect all religions.
09:27So, a good story is a good story.
09:30You know, and I don't think religion really should have its...
09:35No boundaries.
09:37Yes.
09:38Love is the greatest and humanity is the greatest religion.
09:41You said the right thing.
09:42Humanity and love are the greatest religions.
09:45Sir, you came to Dabangg 3.
09:49This is Rajgar 3.
09:51Now, Dabangg 4 is the most expected film of both of them.
09:55Yes.
09:56And Rajgar 3 is Dabangg 4.
09:58We are working silently.
10:01You never know when we'll announce it.
10:03Salman, you are Salman's fan.
10:07Yes.
10:08Tell us something special about Dabangg 4.
10:11It's cooking.
10:14It's cooking.
10:15It's cooking on a low flame.
10:16It's simmering.
10:18Okay.
10:18So, we are working on something.
10:20See, the thing is that Chulbul Pandey is a very loved character.
10:24And Dabangg is a very loved franchise.
10:26So, we don't want to just make a film based on numbers.
10:29Like, put 4 on Dabangg, put 5 on Dabangg and make anything.
10:34We are very mindful of the legacy of the brand.
10:37We want the audience to get what they really expect out of it.
10:42So, there's a lot of thought process that should go.
10:46If you can go wrong, but your efforts have to be 100%.
10:49You know, you should be able to do something which you feel that...
10:53Yeah, we've really worked hard at creating something new, something fresh.
10:57So, till that doesn't happen, we won't make a film.
11:01Whether it takes 2 years or 10 years.
11:04Sometimes, people ask me,
11:06why did you wait so long for Dabangg 4?
11:09There were a lot of delays.
11:10Both of us are very strong in this matter.
11:13Okay.
11:14So, I brought Dabangg to them.
11:17I said, I've got a great subject and I think you should act in it.
11:20So, somewhere I am very possessive about the film.
11:24And he knows that.
11:25And he feels that he's acted in it.
11:28And he's obviously contributed.
11:30And he feels that it's his own.
11:32So, there's a fight between the two of us about what to make.
11:34Okay.
11:36Sir, after Dabangg, Pawan Kalyan is making Dabbar Singh here.
11:40What was going on in your mind?
11:42So, I was happy because he took the rights from us.
11:45You know, when they were making it, the first one, they took the rights from us.
11:49And so, it was a proud moment that most of the South Indian films are remade in Hindi.
11:57So, when Hindi films are made and we were one of them, it was a proud moment.
12:02Sir, after seeing Dabbar Singh being released,
12:05I felt that we can make it in Hindi as well.
12:08Did that come to your mind?
12:11Look, sir, in some films, the actor contributes a lot.
12:15Like, no matter how good a film Dabangg is,
12:18because of Chulbul Pandey, the film is next level.
12:23You can't fathom how much Salman Khan has contributed.
12:26Same thing is here.
12:28No matter how good a film it is, Pawan Kalyan sir's contribution will be immense.
12:32So, you cannot replicate that performance and make a movie.
12:36And thinking that because the film was so good, it did well.
12:40You never know how important the actor was.
12:42So, it's very difficult.
12:45But, when they did the remake, they had a great actor to do it, you know.
12:49Yeah.
12:49Okay.
12:50Can I just add something?
12:51Please, please.
12:52We are talking about Dabbangg 4 and Raju Gareevi 4.
12:57So, you know, there's a common thing running.
12:59So, how do I contribute?
13:01Both of you should consider it.
13:02Trust me in those.
13:04Please do producing for that.
13:07Get the finance.
13:10Get the finance.
13:11We just need some 300-400 crores.
13:13Easily, easily.
13:15She's a princess, man.
13:17She's a princess.
13:18That is so easy.
13:20You are 100% part of our team.
13:22Princess Digangana Suravanshi will produce this Dabbangg 4 and Raju Gareevi 4.
13:27They are f**ker producers.
13:28They just came out.
13:31We want new producers.
13:32We are producers.
13:33The producer came out.
13:35Of course.
13:36I attacked them first.
13:38I don't know.
13:39She wants to be part.
13:41We've given her the...
13:42As an actor.
13:45So, ma'am, after Shivam Bajja,
13:48Yes.
13:49How was your career?
13:51How will this film work for you?
13:54See, every film is very important.
13:58They decide the flow of your career release.
14:00You know, Thursday, Friday matters a lot.
14:03This is a Thursday release.
14:04So, that day really decides what will happen next.
14:09Of course, it's very important.
14:12But with that sense of pressure,
14:14this time there is a lot of pride.
14:17Because there is way too much confidence on the film.
14:20So, I just hope that translates into the footfall that comes into the theatre.
14:24And people like it as much as we've liked making it.
14:28So, there are Arbaaz and Ashwin.
14:33What experience have you gained from working with them?
14:37Arbaaz sir, he's got his own legacy.
14:43Right?
14:43He's done so much work.
14:45But he doesn't carry the weight of his work on the set.
14:49Right?
14:50He doesn't carry that weight of him being who he is on a set.
14:55You know, we're so new in terms of...
14:58You know, like...
14:59I've done so much work and he's done so much work.
15:02Right?
15:02But he doesn't make you feel any of that.
15:05And that doesn't...
15:06That's never...
15:06I don't think that can be anybody's conscious decision.
15:09It's how you are as a person.
15:11You know?
15:12And how comfortable you make people around you.
15:15Right?
15:16Nobody...
15:16Even you wouldn't want to talk to somebody who you know and say,
15:20stay away from that person.
15:22You know?
15:23But with my...
15:24If the shot is going on and there's a break in between,
15:28if I'm sitting far away,
15:30I take my chair and I come next to him because
15:33A, I feel like B, he's very welcoming
15:35and C, there is no...
15:37Oh, I'm talking to Arbaaz Khan, sir.
15:39I'm feeling...
15:40There is that respect.
15:41But it's unspoken.
15:43It's undercurrent.
15:44Like, you know that there is that respect.
15:46But there is so much more comfort,
15:47which is so important and so good.
15:50With Ashwin,
15:52even when I met him for the first time,
15:54he just comes with that...
15:56Hi!
15:57You know, he has that...
15:58It's very...
16:00Infectious.
16:00Yeah, infectious smile and energy
16:03that he comes in with.
16:05Very helpful.
16:06More energetic and gentle.
16:07Too much of a likeability factor in him.
16:09Energetic and gentle.
16:10He misuses it.
16:13Thank you, sir.
16:14Thank you.
16:15He just sees to it that you fall in love with him.
16:17Arbaaz bhai,
16:18there are millions of fans of Sallu bhai.
16:22Yes.
16:22You have to give a little response to this,
16:26for our fans.
16:28When the attack happened in the galaxy,
16:32what was your reaction and
16:35shocking moments?
16:37What was going on at home?
16:38See, I think this is not a matter,
16:40honestly, to talk on a platform like this.
16:43Of course, if you have an attack on a family member,
16:48obviously, everybody is concerned.
16:50Everybody is worried, you know.
16:54But we have to take the necessary steps
16:56and necessary precautions.
16:58And what was necessary was to,
17:01you know, to expect that the police look into this matter
17:05and do what they need to do.
17:07And that's what they're doing.
17:08And we're doing what we have to do.
17:11It's concerning.
17:13It is disturbing.
17:14But what can we do?
17:16We have to find a way.
17:18Immediately, what was Sallu bhai saying
17:21after finding out about this?
17:23Right now, I mean to say,
17:25what will happen if this happens to you?
17:31There can only be one reaction.
17:32What's happening? Why is this happening?
17:34You know, this is not a right thing.
17:37This is not an unexpected thing,
17:40you know, coming from nowhere for whatever reason.
17:44So, what will be the justification for this?
17:46There is a little concern,
17:48but anybody would feel that way.
17:50You know, I don't see any other reaction.
17:52I mean to say, there cannot be a party
17:54or rejoicing or something, no?
17:56It is a matter of concern.
17:57It is a matter of what is happening.
18:00So, I guess that is it.
18:03Okay, I want to ask one more question.
18:06You said Sallu bhai, Bigg Boss.
18:07You said Bigg Boss, Sallu bhai.
18:09Now, Anil Kapoor has become the host of OTT.
18:11Yes.
18:12Do you have anyone to become the host of Bigg Boss?
18:15No, I...
18:17As long as Bhai is doing it,
18:19I think he's doing a great job.
18:20And replace...
18:22See, replacing anybody for that matter, you know.
18:24Whoever has taken a particular place
18:27and made a mark,
18:28it's very difficult to replace him.
18:31You can create a position for yourself,
18:33but you cannot replace that person.
18:35Whatever that unique quality that person has,
18:39you can make your own identity.
18:42Like, let's just say James Bond.
18:44James Bond has been made with so many actors,
18:47but each actor has left his mark.
18:48Whether it is Sean Connery or Roger Moore,
18:51or you know, whoever is there,
18:53Timothy Dalton or for that matter,
18:55Abijo recently,
18:56who was that very...
18:59Simran Iyengarayudu.
19:01Another actor recently was there, you know.
19:04So, they all leave their impact, you know.
19:08So, that's what you should work at being, you know.
19:12Bro, tell me, what is it now?
19:14It's your birthday, Shivam Bhaji.
19:16Full party that day.
19:17How was the party?
19:19I didn't have a party, you have to tell me.
19:21How was the party?
19:22Now, if you look at the trailer,
19:25it looks like the party has already started.
19:27I did it with a lot of confidence, bro.
19:30Mine is August 1st, birthday.
19:32And the producer's birthday is also August 1st, bro.
19:35I was shocked.
19:36Sir's birthday came, Arbaaz sir's birthday came,
19:38and August 4th.
19:39On the 4th day, we have a success meet party.
19:42We will go and meet sir.
19:43We will meet him wherever he is, or else we will invite him.
19:45That kind of success should come.
19:46Definitely, all of you will like it.
19:48We didn't disappoint you on August 1st.
19:50If you give us a return gift, we will be even happier.
19:53But what I think is, like Taman said,
19:55how strongly he will hit the ball,
19:57the same way he will hit the box office.
20:00That's the love my son has for me.
20:02That's the love my brother-in-law has for me.
20:04Taman is the music director, you know that, right?
20:07So, he was saying,
20:09in any cricket, if you change the ball this much,
20:12any picture will change the box office that much.
20:15Of course, yes.
20:17Yes, yes.
20:18We hope for that.
20:19Good luck for both of you.
20:22Arbaaz bhai and Ashwin bhai and Digangana.
